We are great at getting book donations and getting the books out to the community. We've had some hiccups, but we are back on track to reach our goal of donating 1,000,000 books a year.
We never sell the donated books. We don't have a source of regular income, so we really need to get some grants, and future fundraising.
Velocity of Books started in the DC Metro Area and served locally nationally and internationally. For the last two years, we've been providing thousands of books to the Montgomery-Floyd Regional Library System. We are now establishing more impactful book distribution channels in the NRV. We now provide books to YMCA to be given away with their food distributions and to the police to provide to kids they encounter.
This Saturday, 8/8 from 8:00am-2:00pm we will be giving books away at the BB Farmers Market. There have been requests that we serve other Farmers Markets as well.
Thank you for helping Velocity of Books serve the NRV.
